It was halfway through the third watch, and Sheng Yuan, who had just gone to bed, was staring dazedly, as if he felt that the frequency of his heartbeat and breathing were gradually becoming one, and he could fall into a sweet dream in just a moment.
That's it!
A sharp knock on the door woke her up!
In an instant, the heartbeat and breathing that had just merged into one suddenly pushed each other apart and began to roll faster.
This made Sheng Yuan, whose mind was filled with sleep, froze in place, somewhat unsure of what time it was.
Fortunately, the knocking on the door kept coming. With persistence and perseverance, Sheng Yuan's remaining sleepiness was finally knocked away.
"It's coming! It's coming!" Sheng Yuan held back a yawn, pulled on her shoes and walked out.
"Xiaoyao?" When he opened the door, he saw Xiaoyao's frightened face.
"Miss, Chengdong is here!" Xiaoyao trembled and clenched Shengyuan's arm, "The young Marquis has been detained by the Internal Guard!"
"What did you say?" Sheng Yuan immediately woke up, and her first reaction was that the Internal Guards were about to rebel!
"Shengsi Cheng!"
Sheng Yuan raised her head and saw Cheng Dong running quickly from the corridor, and hurriedly stepped out: "What's going on?!"
"Not long after the young Marquis returned to his residence, he asked people from the Internal Guard to come over. When he got there, he heard that the Emperor, he, he had passed away!"
"What?!" Sheng Yuan didn't expect to hear such earth-shattering news from Chengdong, and was stunned on the spot.
The emperor died? How can it be!
Their emperor does not value women or food, and even government affairs cannot affect his health and exercise. He is simply the dream of the imperial doctor!
The Queen Mother once told her that the imperial doctor concluded that the emperor would probably live longer than the late emperor.
"No way! It must be a rumor!"
After Sheng Yuan was stunned, her mind started to work quickly, and she quickly concluded that someone wanted to cause trouble!
"Your Majesty will be able to return to the capital in less than half a month. I'm afraid someone will be unable to sit still and want to do something treasonous and unethical!"
Chengdong also didn’t know the inside story: “My subordinates couldn’t tell the truth from the false, but when the young marquis heard the sound, he became furious and was about to kill the person who spoke, but was stopped by the deputy commander of the inner guard... Later, Princess Yongping arrived in a hurry , wanted to have a secret talk with the young Marquis. The young Marquis discussed with her and the deputy commander of the Internal Guard behind closed doors, and soon the table was overturned. The young Marquis was detained in the Internal Guard Mansion at that time. "
"Then why are you here!" Sheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Since Chengdong is here, it means Brother Yu's life should be safe.
"The young Marquis fought for it on behalf of my subordinate. However, I feel that if I came here to report the news, I am afraid that Princess Yongping did it intentionally."
Princess Yongping! Princess Yongping! It’s Princess Yongping again!
Why is there her shadow everywhere!
Sheng Yuan felt inexplicably irritable.
If just now she was sure that the death of Emperor Jinghe was a rumor, then when she heard that Princess Yongping was actively involved, she... was a little unsure.
"Impossible! Impossible!" Sheng Yuan tried to calm down her mood and let her reason prevail.
But the less I want to study it in detail, the more active my mind becomes, and all kinds of questions rush out.
If, if the emperor dies... then what happened in the meantime?
If something happens to Jing and the emperor, where are the queen and the two noble concubines!
right! Queen!
Sheng Yuan felt a thunder in his head!
The old house of the Lu family, the accompanying queen, the two passages in and out of Kyoto, the missing descendant of the Lu family... These clues seemed to form a web, filtering out all irrelevant information, and in the end only the one who filled her soul was left. Surprisingly possible.
"Chengdong, hurry up and see my elder brother at my house. He is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture! Now Brother Yu has difficulty moving, and only my elder brother can contact the city inspection department!" Sheng Yuan stumbled back to the house, writing for a while Kuang Cao, hurriedly stated the key points, put it in an envelope and handed it to Cheng Dong, saying quickly, "Remember, you must give it to him personally! Also, this letter must not fall into the hands of others, especially Princess Yongping!"
"I obey the order!" Although Chengdong was concerned about Anyu's safety, Anyu had told him before that he should take Shengyuan's explicit order first.
"Xiaoyao!" Sheng Yuan grabbed Xiaoyao's arm, took out the jade pendant from her collar, and handed it to her hand, "You go into the palace now! This is the token given to me by the Queen Mother, even if the palace door is locked. Please see me! Take it to see Aunt Qi and tell her what happened today... Remember, unless the rumors are settled, the Queen Mother must not know!"
"I understand!" Xiaoyao clenched the jade pendant and was about to take action, but Sheng Yuan grabbed her instead.
She looked at Sheng Yuan in confusion: "Miss?"
"Wait until I get out before you leave!" Sheng Yuan turned around, took out a pair of ring-headed knives and hung them on his waist. He straightened his official uniform, put on his official hat, and walked out.
"Miss, where are you going?" Xiaoyao didn't expect that his lady was traveling alone so late at night, and immediately shook her head vigorously, "Are you alone? No! No! No!"
"Don't you often say that when I meet a strong man by chance, it is the strong man who should be thinking about how to protect himself the most? Why can't I go alone? What's more, I don't plan to go very far with your lady!"
Sheng Yuan pointed diagonally ahead as she walked: "The Neiwei Mansion is on the street in front. I went over to ask for your lady!"
"...The slave will accompany you!" Xiaoyao was afraid that his own lady would also be detained.
Even if my young lady is very skilled in martial arts, she can't beat four hands with two fists. If someone attacks in a group, no matter how good your kung fu is, you will still be in trouble!
"Confused!"
Sheng Yuan paused and looked over, but her beautiful little face was more serious than ever before: "Everything has its own priorities! You should know that there is no reason why the eggs will not be intact when the nest is overturned! The situation is urgent now, and we are as if we are on a cliff. If you are fumbling around, if you are not careful, your whole family will be doomed!
At this time, how can you only focus on my safety? ! Right now, there are strong winds and heavy rain coming, you can't hold me back! "
"Slave...here." When Xiaoyao heard this, he truly realized that the situation seemed to be filled with swords and swords. He held back the tears that were rolling in his eyes, nodded, stopped and stopped following.
Seeing that her little boy was teachable, Sheng Yuan could no longer care about anything else and strode towards the Inner Guards Mansion.
…
"It's useless for you to lure Sister Yuan here!" Anyu folded his arms and sat on the back of the chair, looking down at Princess Yongping and the deputy commander of the inner guard opposite, and sneered, "If you have the ability, you can bring us two together." Kill them all, otherwise, when the emperor and the noble concubine come back, you can bring the heads on your neck to account for them!"
"Young Master doesn't want to accept the reality and there is nothing he can do about it. The guards of the family garden ran away and crippled five horses to send a message. It is an indisputable fact that the Holy Lord Long Yu has passed away. The top priority is to stabilize the situation in Kyoto! If the Holy Lord is alive in heaven, he does not want to look at Da Chu. Is the country just in chaos?"
"Shut up!" An Yu's eyes glowed with red threads. He jumped down from the back of the chair, pressed his fists hard against the table, and locked his eyes tightly on Princess Yongping. "Even if you are a princess, if you say another word For such treacherous and unjust words, I don’t mind using Shang Fang’s sword to send you away!”
